“When we are green, still half-created, we believe that our dreams are rights, that the world is disposed to act in our best interests, and that falling and dying are for quitters.

― Tobias Wolff, This Boy's Life

“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.”
